With over 30 years of experience as a therapist, I offer a seasoned combination of wisdom, current relevance and flexible interventions. I have seen trends come and go in the fields of psychology and counseling, so I like to identify your particular needs and tailor treatment modalities to your unique circumstances and expectations. I enjoy helping people discover their true needs/desires and pursuing their dreams, potential and meeting their life goals. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression. trauma and neurodiversity (autism, ADHD, traumatic brain injury, etc.). I enjoy working with individuals of all age and work mostly with longer-term clients who are interested in lasting, life growth work. I own an autism consulting business and am a Certified Autism Specialist, a Board Certified Telemental Health Provider, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Clinical Supervisor (for AL). I have worked in multiple settings - inpatient, outpatient, day treatment, residential, in-home, private practice and, of course, virtual. My pioneering work with online counseling in the 90s (pre-Google!) was featured on Oprah's network and in Glamour Magazine, so I come to you with the highest of standards in the field. I typically use cognitive-behavioral therapy, skills-building from dialectical-behavioral therapy and neuroeducation (teaching about how your mind-body chemicals spur your feelings which lead to thoughts, behaviors and habits). I believe that people change when they're ready - my goal is to help you get ready to change and then to support you through change. You know you can't directly change others, but you CAN change yourself - and by doing so, you help change the world for the better, one step at a time. And it all starts with you! Let's create a treatment plan that is both realistic and challenging for you - one that involves a precise balance of safety and risk, comfort and courage. My clients say I'm easy and fun to work with because of the combination of my personality, professional and personal experience...and thus I use a balanced combination of compassion, reality and humor. Change is hard enough - why not make it fun, meaningful and enjoy the journey? I look forward to working with you! Ready? Set....Grow!!

Cory Russell
If you are ready for a new beginning, schedule a session today. I am flexible with sessions as well. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, ADD, ODD, parenting concerns, adjustment issues, relationship problems, and issues problem solving. In addition to the different areas I focus on, I am flexible with sessions. My primary therapeutic approach is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This approach is useful in addressing how you think, feel, and behave. It is my belief that how we think, makes us feel, and we behave accordingly. My goal is to address your life’s struggles with strategies that allow you to be more empowered to maintain changes (i.e. healthier thinking, feeling, and behaving), reach goals, and feel less overwhelmed with all of the things that are going on in your world. We sometimes are in need of direction, validation, and make sense of what is going on in our world. As your therapist, you will not be alone in this journey.

At times life experiences are overwhelming, compromising, and/or traumatizing. No life is without challenges or cookie cut. This can include physical/mental illness or disability, severed relationships or divorce, death, abuse, assault, or accidents. Challenges may occur from simply trying to manage expectations, performance demands, self-confidence, or self-identity. I am passionate about helping individuals grow through challenging experiences. I have over ten years of experience engaging with families, children, adolescents, and adults in behavioral/mental health, hospice, bereavement, foster care, adoption, disability, and educational settings. It is my belief that every individual has unique strengths and resiliency. By utilizing a holistic and diverse approach, together, we can navigate the process of adjustment, exploring, and learning techniques that are specific to your needs in a safe, caring, and non-judgmental environment. My goal is to help you achieve emotional and mental wellness and increased awareness of your needs and values for an improved daily functioning and meaningful life.
